Black-out Poetry

Accès

À propos

Unleash your creativity in this dynamic fusion of visual art and poetry! Blackout or Erasure Poetry is a playful and thought-provoking form of found poetry where creators take existing texts—such as old book pages, newspaper clippings, or magazine articles—and transform them into entirely new works of art and expression.

By removing or blacking out select words, participants uncover hidden meanings, craft unexpected narratives, or let images and patterns emerge around chosen phrases. Some poets use bold strokes to conceal unwanted text, while others draw, doodle, or paint around their words, turning each piece into a visual and literary collage.

This is your chance to explore language in a whole new way. Whether you’re a seasoned poet or a curious beginner, come see what surprising story might be waiting within the page. What will you choose to reveal—and what will you erase?
